Case story

IPA Nordic’s 360° HR platform is strategic for Fønix Invest

“IPA Nordic’s 360° HR platform is simply brilliant.”
Søren Busk, COO

Fønix Invest ApS is a dynamic Danish investment company focused on supporting smaller IT companies through financial capital and strategic advice. Their goal is to create a strong portfolio of innovative companies where they can contribute with growth and long-term development opportunities. An important part of this is IPA Nordic’s 360° HR platform.

Several of the acquired companies are smaller businesses where administrative HR tasks are not prioritised with the same fervour as day-to-day operations. This is where Phoenix Invest helps to structure these many tasks.

In fact, it starts even before the investment in the company becomes a reality

COO Søren Busk explains:

“For many, investing in companies is based on finances and future returns. Of course, this is also the case at Fønix Invest, but the human aspect is just as important to us.

In other words, if both parties can feel each other and share the same values, we are ready to take a closer look at both the business and the organisation.”

Søren Busk, COO, Fønix Invest ApS

Søren Busk elaborates:

“We need to understand how the organisation sees itself. Here we have the opportunity to use the IPA Team Analysis, which quickly provides an overview of whether the organisation is driven by a common vision and stands on a strong common foundation.

We get some very valuable insights that we use together in further dialogue. We all have the same goal – the common good.

The IPA Team Analysis is therefore a great organisational temperature gauge for us.”

 

“IPA Nordic’s 360° HR platform is simply brilliant.

It’s modular and everything is integrated with each other.

It’s obvious that the system is built by HR professionals for use by others who don’t always have the same understanding of HR.

The system is at the centre of our strategic development.”

A new company in the Phoenix Invest universe automatically gets access to the following services:

1

Professional Recruitment

Using IPA Nordic’s automated recruitment tools, all advertised positions are handled and candidates are screened by Phoenix Invest. Those with the right profile are invited to a more in-depth interview. For this interview, IPA Core Personality is used, which is a personality analysis and a highly recognised dialogue tool. It is all based on creating as high an employer branding as possible, it should be an experience to be interviewed, and therefore all candidates receive a personalised swot analysis back with personal feedback.

2

Pre- & Onboarding

Phoenix Invest’s method is to let the hiring process start when the employment contract is signed. This is known as pre-boarding, where the new employee is presented with various information handled by IPA Staff. The actual onboarding process is digitalised in IPA Staff and ensures a streamlined start-up of the new employee.

3

Employee administration

An important element is that Phoenix Invest now has a centralised HR system to manage all employee-related tasks.

This includes everything from contract creation, time tracking, equipment and documents.

4

Attachment & Wellbeing

With IPA Nordic’s 360° HR platform, Phoenix Invest has access to tools that target employee engagement and well-being.

The system includes well-being surveys and early stress warnings. For a company that wants to create a healthy and attractive workplace, these efforts are essential to maintain high engagement among their employees
